Floris Wubben’s delicate ‘Stripped’ lamp is a gorgeous reworking of natureConstructed from a single branch split into three pieces at its base and ‘stripped’ of its bark at the top, this standing lamp from Dutch designer Floris Wubben is at once a sophisticated example of modern design and a wholly natural product. The designer explains how creating the product from a singular chunk of wood with ‘minimal changes’ applied to it, the piece “obtains a new function, without losing its natural and exceptional appearance”. As if the product isn’t bespoke enough, each branch dictates the form the eventual product will take… meaning no two ‘Stripped’ Lamps are the same. I think it’s a fab idea. Like steam-bending, utilising wood’s natural outer materiality and manipulating it into a tangible form is a refreshing technique for using this ancient material a little differently.
